Concept.

The design maximizes the available height, creating a double-height dining volume that feels both expansive and intimate.

Spatial Planning.

The spatial layout encourages fluid circulation while maintaining visual connectivity across levels. A central seating spine anchors the plan, offering cozy semi-private zones within the open layout.

Design Details.

Art deco-inspired circular columns between the windows reinforce the sense of height and elegance. The flooring transitions—patterned tiles and warm wood finishes—help define distinct functional areas without physical partitions. The mezzanine level introduces an added perspective, balancing openness with intimacy.

Materiality.

Warm wood tones and soft neutral materials form the base palette, complemented by custom-crafted wooden lighting installations that weave across the ceiling.

Craft.

These sculptural elements bring rhythm and continuity to the space, visually linking various dining zones while celebrating artisanal craftsmanship.
